         Sustainable Building Design Code
The proposed development complies with the overall outcomes of the Sustainable Building Design
Code. An assessment against the relevant performance outcomes of the Code are stated in Table 9
below to demonstrate how the development complies with the code requirements. Where a specific
outcome is not stated, it is not relevant to the application.
